But what is it about carpentry or landscape work that does it? The sweat? The callouses? That kind of dustiness you have when you come up from a few hours of working wood?

The hope that I don't have to do it.
And I think I've discovered that fringy is, in fact, Sars from Tomato Nation. From her latest essay:
Quote:
And speaking of things in Christmas songs that I don't understand, what is going on in "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"? First of all, in my house, you stayed in bed Christmas Eve or you got a spanking in your stocking. Second of all, either Mommy is cheating on Daddy with Santa, or Daddy is dressed up as Santa and it's some kind of May-December roly-poly kinky thing that the kid doesn't need to see, which leads me my third point, namely that the child is kind of a voyeur, and when Mommy gets done playing tonsil hockey with St. Nick, she might want to look into a child psychologist before neighborhood pets start disappearing.
